Card-Writing Workshop

Do you have relationships could use some attention? People you've been meaning to reach out to? Maybe you'd like to express gratitude, or encouragement, or love, or an apology, but have had trouble finding the right words.

Whatever the details of your situation, this workshop will help you clarify what you want to say, and how to say it with kindness and honesty. We'll spend about half of the time talking, and about half of the time writing, so that by the end of the afternoon, you'll have communications ready to be delivered.

You'll receive two note cards and ten Gift of Happiness message cards to work with, with more available for purchase. Feel free to bring your own materials as well.

You could spend a Sunday afternoon driving from store to store, hoping to find perfect gifts for the people in your life. Or you could spend that time in the beautiful Heartwood Room at Roots & Wings, connecting to the love you feel for your friends and family members, and crafting messages from the heart.

The Gift of Happiness

The Gift of Happiness is based on one simple principle: You get what you give. All of us have gifts we can offer the world. Some are unique to us, and some are ours simply because we are human.It is in recognizing and sharing these gifts with others that we discover our happiness.
